New York Sen. Gillibrand on Minnesota shooting, Venezuela operation and health care battle
from Up Close with Bill Ritter · host WABC-TV, Bill Ritter
The new year started with no shortage of political controversies. President Trump ordered a U.S. military operation in Venezuela to capture Nicolas Maduro and his wife. The Trump administration calling it a law enforcement action and insisting it's not an invasion. Meanwhile, the U.S. Health and Human Services Department froze $10 billion in child care funds to New York and four other Democrat-led states.

But can the city afford Mamdani's agenda? New York City's new Comptroller, Mark Levine, gives his take. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
